Uneven floors and sagging floor repair costs largely depend on their cause.
For example, if your uneven floors are caused by damage to a couple of support beams, the sagging floor repair cost will be much cheaper than if it were due to foundation damage or significant water damage.
If, however, you misdiagnose the cause of your uneven floors—mistaking foundation damage for harmless uneven floors in old houses—then you could be neglecting to solve the root of the problem. Such neglect is how foundation damage escalates to foundation failure. When you notice uneven floors or sagging floors, it’s best to have your home looked at by a foundation repair expert.
Sagging floors could be nothing. Or they could be a sign of serious structural damage.
While some unevenness is typical, especially in older homes, it’s time for professional repair any time a floor has a visible slope or is uneven enough to cause objects to roll. If you’re starting to notice less severe issues, like doors or windows sticking or faint cracks in walls or ceilings, it’s wise to call for an estimate before problems worsen.
The duration of uneven floor repair varies widely depending on the underlying cause and the extent of the damage. Minor issues like reinforcing a few floor joists might take a day or two. More complex problems involving significant foundation repair or extensive water damage could take several days to a week or more. During your free consultation, our experts will provide a detailed assessment and an estimated timeline for your specific repair.
